ROCKFORD, Ill. (WTVO/WQRF) –The Rockford area has seen it’s share of talented high school basketball players over the years, but probably nothing that will compare with what’s coming to Rockford Saturday, April 11. The ILLBALLERZ All-Star Game will be played at Boylan High School.

Top Division I College prospects from all over the nation have agreed to participate. Players headed to programs such as Duke, North Carolina, Arizona, UCLA, Butler, LSU and more. These are players who were not invited to the two premier high school all-star games the McDonald’s All-American Game and the Jordan Brand Classic. (A complete list of players can be found below).

The event is being put on by ILL BALLERZ a group started and founded by Ryan Raddle. Part of the proceeds will be donated to players and coaches who have become “ILL” and have been taken away from the game that they love or are making a serious recovery to be able to play/coach again.

There will also be a dunk competition and a three-point competition at 5:30 p.m. followed by the game at 7 p.m.
